Background Futibatinib is an oral, irreversible FGFR1-4 inhibitor with clinical activity in cholangiocarcinoma and other FGFR-aberrant tumors. The recommended futibatinib dosage is 20 mg once daily (QD). In vitro studies have shown that futibatinib is predominantly metabolized by and inhibits cytochrome p450 3A (CYP3A); futibatinib is also a P-glycoprotein substrate. Two phase 1 studies were performed in healthy volunteers to evaluate potential DDIs between futibatinib and CYP3A substrates (midazolam; study 1) or CYP3A inhibitors/inducers (itraconazole/rifampin; study 2). As the solubility of futibatinib is pH dependent, study 3 assessed the effect of PPI (lansoprazole) coadministration on futibatinib pharmacokinetics (PK). Methods All 3 studies, conducted in adult nonsmokers, were open-label, fixed-sequence, 2-period cross-over studies with a 1- or 2-d washout between each period. In study 1, midazolam 2 mg was given on d1 of period 1 (-futibatinib) and on d7 of period 2 (+futibatinib 20 mg QD d1-7). In study 2, futibatinib 20 mg was given on d1 of period 1 (alone) and on d5 (+itraconazole 200 mg QD d1-6) or d8 (+rifampin 600 mg QD d1-9) of period 2. In study 3, futibatinib 20 mg was given on d1 of period 1 (-lansoprazole) and d5 of period 2 (+lansoprazole 60 mg QD d1-5). Plasma samples for PK assessment were collected predose through 24 h post-midazolam dosing (study 1) and predose through 48 h post-futibatinib dosing (studies 2 and 3). Results In study 1 (N=24), coadministration of futibatinib did not result in clinically significant changes in midazolam PK, based on the area under the concentration curve extrapolated to the last measurable time (AUC0-t; -9%) or infinity (AUC0-inf; -9%) or maximum plasma concentration (Cmax; -5%), compared with midazolam alone. In study 2 (N=40), relative to futibatinib administered alone, coadministration with itraconazole increased futibatinib Cmax (+51%) and plasma exposure (AUC0-t and AUC0-inf +41% each), whereas coadministration with rifampin decreased futibatinib Cmax (-53%) and plasma exposure (AUC0-t and AUC0-inf -64% each). In study 3 (N=20), coadministration of lansoprazole did not result in clinically significant changes in futibatinib PK parameters vs futibatinib alone (AUC0-t +5%; AUC0-inf +5%; Cmax +8%). Agents were well tolerated, and all 3 studies were completed with no clinically relevant safety signals. Conclusions Futibatinib is not expected to affect the exposure of concomitant medications metabolized via CYP3A, the most common drug metabolism pathway. Caution should be exercised when coadministering strong CYP3A inducers or inhibitors with futibatinib, as significant DDIs were observed with itraconazole and rifampin. Futibatinib can be concomitantly administered with PPIs with no clinically relevant impact on futibatinib exposure.

The dye exclusion method was able to demonstrate the advantage of barrier ointments for wetness protection and also to discriminate between ointment formulations.
Gefapixant (MK-7264, AF-219), a first-in-class P2X3 antagonist, is being developed as oral treatment for refractory or unexplained chronic cough. Based on in vitro data, gefapixant exerts inhibitory activity on the organic anion transporter (OAT) P1B1 transporter. Therefore, a drug-drug interaction study evaluating the potential effects of gefapixant on the OATP1B1 drug transporter, using pitavastatin as a sensitive probe substrate, was conducted. An open-label, 2-period, fixed-sequence study in 20 healthy adults 18 to 55 years old was conducted. In period 1, a 1-mg oral dose of pitavastatin was administered to each participant. After a ≥4-day washout, in period 2 participants received a 45-mg oral dose of gefapixant twice daily on days 1 through 4. On day 2 of period 2, pitavastatin was coadministered with the morning dose of gefapixant. Pitavastatin exposures following single-dose administration with and without multiple doses of gefapixant were similar: geometric mean ratio (90% confidence interval) of pitavastatin area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC 0-∞ ) (pitavastatin + gefapixant/pitavastatin alone) was 0.97 (0.93-1.02). The ratio of pitavastatin lactone AUC 0-∞ to pitavastatin AUC 0-∞ was also comparable between treatments. Administration of gefapixant and pitavastatin was generally well tolerated, with no safety findings of concern. These results support that gefapixant has a low potential to inhibit the OATP1B1 transporter.
Background Futibatinib is an oral selective irreversible FGFR inhibitor with clinical activity in cholangiocarcinoma and other FGFR-deregulated tumors. A phase 1 thorough QT study was conducted to evaluate the effect of futibatinib on the heart rate (HR)-corrected QT (QTc) interval. Methods Healthy nonsmoking adults 18-55 years of age were randomized to receive single doses of each of the following treatments in different sequences: futibatinib (20 or 80 mg [therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses, respectively]), placebo, or moxifloxacin (positive QTc-prolongation control; 400 mg). At least 7 days were allowed between administration of each of the 4 treatments. Administration of futibatinib and placebo was double-blind; that of moxifloxacin was open-label. The primary endpoint was the difference in change from baseline in QTcF (QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula) between futibatinib and placebo (ddQTcF) at the time points tested. Upper limits of the 2-sided 90% confidence intervals (CIs) of these differences of <10 ms indicated lack of QTc prolongation (per ICH E14 guidance). Secondary endpoints included change from baseline in other electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, pharmacokinetics (PK), and safety. Results Enrolled participants (N=48) received ≥1 dose of futibatinib, were evaluable for futibatinib PK, and were included in the analysis population. The ddQTcF ranged from 0.13 to 2.47 ms with 20 mg futibatinib and from -0.04 to 2.46 ms with 80 mg futibatinib from 0.5 to 24 h after dosing. Upper limits of the 2-sided 90% CIs of these values remained well below 10 ms (<5 ms) throughout. The lower limits of 2-sided 97.5% CIs of the difference in change from baseline in QTcF between moxifloxacin and placebo all exceeded 5 ms (8.06-11.43 ms) at the time points analyzed (1.5, 2, 3, and 4 h), demonstrating assay sensitivity. No clinically significant effects of futibatinib on HR, other ECG parameters (eg, PR, QRS, or QT intervals), or ECG morphology were identified. Exposure-response modeling indicated no significant relationship between plasma futibatinib concentration and the QTcF interval. The futibatinib area under the concentration curve from time 0 to infinity and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) increased by 4.5- and 3.3-fold, respectively, after administration of a single dose of 80 vs 20 mg. The Cmax values observed with 80 mg futibatinib (median, 553 ng/mL; range, 71-1160) exceeded any Cmax observed or expected with the 20-mg daily therapeutic dose at steady state. Seven participants (15%) experienced adverse events of any cause after receiving either futibatinib dose, all grade 1/2. Conclusions A single therapeutic or supratherapeutic dose of futibatinib did not prolong the QTc interval or adversely affect other measures of heart function. Futibatinib exposure increased dose-dependently, and administration was safe and well tolerated in healthy participants.
